Effect of a Cancer Education Program on Student Interest and Learning Cancer.

Peters, Antoinette S.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v61 n3 p163-68 Mar 1986

A 5-year study of medical students who had participated in a first-year elective course on cancer found that 47% of all participants subsequently became involved in other cancer programs. Subsequent expressed and overt interests in cancer were related to achievement on neoplasm-related test items. (Author/MLW)
